13 Mink Street

Morbitten pushed open the door of the room and saw an old man sitting in a wheelchair with his back turned to him.

Although I didn't see the front, just this back view gave people a feeling of being lonely and coming to an end, which came from the double decay of soul and body.

It is not a matter of running out of wicks and wax and needing to be added, but of the whole candlestick being about to rot and collapse.

"You are much older."

Morbitten used to be the captain of Rathma's guard, so he had frequent contact with Texisen before.

"We're all going to get old, aren't we?" Tehissen turned the wheelchair over, "Even the elders of the temple will get old too. Morbitten, haven't we seen each other for a long time?"

"Yes, this is the first time we have met since you left office."

"If outsiders hear this sentence, they will mistakenly think that you, Morbitten, are a very snobbish person."

"There is nothing wrong with that. In the eyes of the Benda family, there has always been only the great priest."

"Well, I know, it was a bit noisy outside just now, what's going on?"

"Sorry to bother you. I just met one of my grandsons. He has been a little disobedient recently. I educated him."

"Where is this place?"

"It's Fire Island."

"Where exactly?"

Morbitten was stunned for a moment, but immediately replied: "It's a villa of the Castle family on the island."

"Oh, hehe." Taixisen was stunned, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "Look at my brain, I'm really walking away, and my mind is a little confused, you know, I I almost thought this was the residence of the Nibunda family."

"grown ups……"

Morbitten knelt down on one knee to Tehisen.

He is very strong, very strong, because he is the shield in front of the high priest of the Cult of Order; his status is also very special, the Benda family is only loyal to every high priest, as the person who always accompanied the high priest , many of his actions will be interpreted as the will of the high priest.

However, his position is not high, just a guard captain.

As for the old man in front of him, even if he resigned from his post, it was only the most important position. The old man still retained many titles and treatment within the teaching staff.

It’s okay if it’s not true, but once it’s true, Morbitten needs to salute Texisen solemnly, and it’s not the traditional salute with crossed hands.

Texisen pushed the wheelchair under him and approached Morbitten until he was almost in front of Morbitten. He leaned forward, looked at Morbitten's face, and whispered:

"I believe that the Benda family has never forgotten their family vows, but I believe that people will change. At home, it doesn't matter how you educate your children and grandchildren; but outside, please remember one thing, they first The believers of the God of Order are the priests of the God of Order, and finally... are the descendants of you Morbitten Benda."

"Yes, my lord, I understand."

"No, you don't understand, I know you still don't feel that you are wrong in your heart, maybe, you will feel that I, an old guy who is dying, want to lose my temper with you while I am still breathing Prestige addiction?"

"I dare not think so, because I know what kind of person you are, my lord."

"The established rules have been broken. The religion of God has existed for a long time, but it also has its own law of development. It's like when you Murray saw your grandson and wanted to teach him a lesson. Many people have actually forgotten it. We are equal under order.

Foden thinks so, so does Crede, and you, Morbitten, think so too.

The rules, in fact, have always been there, but you actually didn't take them to heart. "

"grown ups……"

Cold sweat appeared on Morbitten's forehead. He was really shocked. As the captain of his guard, he just punched his grandson casually, but in the end he had to face such a terrible divergence from the old man in front of him. The adults bonded together.

The old man in front of him is dying.

As an old man who once sat at the round table and fought for the future development of the divine religion, the moment he stepped down meant that the halo on him was no longer there, but when he was about to die, he might also die. When he died in this place of Fire Island, the halo on his body suddenly became dazzling again.

His words before his death will definitely cause waves, and even be advertised as the next step of a faction.

If he said that the Benda family was a little unclear about his position, then the family inheritance that the Benda family had always been proud of would probably change because of his words.

Even High Priest Norton would be happy to exchange a Benda family for the old man's final "rest in peace".

"Morbitten, I'm leaving soon." Taixisen reached out and put his hand on Morbitten's shoulder, "There are not many old friends, so I hope you can live a clearer life. I know that the Benda family His tutoring has always been very good and strict, but the Benda family has been passed down to the present, relying on not exceeding the rules, let the children solve the children's affairs by themselves, you, you only need to be responsible for the safety of the high priest, understand? "

"I understand, thank you for your teaching."

In fact, Morbitten didn't quite understand it, but he vaguely sensed something. Could it be that his grandson Murray was very appreciated in front of Lord Taixisen recently?

"Okay, tell me what the high priest asked you to bring to me."

"Yes." Morbitten stood up and straightened his clothes.

Texisen put his hands on his chest, ready to listen to the will of the High Priest.

"The high priest said that he will come to visit you after the magic circle is set up tomorrow night. There will be a lot of people accompanying him. I hope you don't mind."

Tai Xisen nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The high priest said that he hopes to cooperate with you to make up for some internal cracks in the religion."

Tai Xisen continued to nod, he will cooperate.

"The high priest said that he has always respected you."

Morbitten finished speaking and knelt down on one knee again.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Texisen blinked and shook his head: "Is the last sentence a moral kidnapping of me?"

"I think this is the true words of the high priest."

"You don't understand. The meaning of the last sentence should be that he knows that I will say some bad things in front of him before I die. He will not agree or change it. Instead, he will say that he will Respect my opinion."

"You interpret it this way..."

"It's actually not interesting. It's a very boring process, but you can't jump. I can't jump, and he can't jump. You have to do your best to finish it. I can only say that I died in neither the place nor the time. It will make me die." He is more tired.

Well, I see, you go down. "

"Yes, my lord."

Morbitten stood up again.

"Remember your age." Tai Xisen said, "You are also a gray-haired old man with such a violent temper. What does it look like?"

Morbitten can almost conclude now that Murray must be liked by Tai Xisen, otherwise it would be unreasonable to use this kind of words to criticize himself several times.

"Yes, my lord, I will remember your words. When I go back this time, I will resign as the head of the Benda family and give it to my son. I will concentrate on protecting the safety of the high priest."

"By the way, Morbitten, have you ever taken care of your grandson?"

"this……"

"Do you think this kind of thing is childish?" Tai Xisen crossed his hands and said with a smile, "Give me a chance to try."

"Yes, my lord, I will."

"I envy you very much. You have so many grandchildren. People, you have to learn to cherish them."

Morbitten lowered his head. He knew that the grandson of the old man in front of him was chosen by Lord Marchettini, one of the 12 order knights, to become the inheritor. Although it was only a partial inheritance, the status of his grandson immediately became detached. Even his grandfather had to address his grandson as "Master" when he saw his grandson.

He opened the door of the room, and when he was about to go out, Morbitten slowly closed the door again, turned around again, and knelt down on one knee.

"There is one more thing I want to ask you. This is related to my dereliction of duty. It is a mistake I cannot allow myself to make."

Taixisen was not surprised at all, and asked, "What about Rasma?"

"Yes, the former high priest did not allow me to accompany him when he left, which made me very tormented. I think that if I had been by the former high priest's side at that time, the high priest might not have disappeared..."

"Have you investigated?"

"I dare not hide it from you. I have investigated it. During the time when the previous high priest disappeared and the new high priest took office, I couldn't find anything. I also found out that the matter was set as a top secret."

"I can only tell you that you don't have to feel guilty, that is Rasma's own choice."

"Thank you, my lord."

Morbitten breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and really walked out of the room this time.

Taixisen turned his wheelchair around and faced the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Because even if you go, nothing will change."

Texisen suddenly laughed out loud:

"Hahaha……"

His hands patted the armrests of his wheelchair. It took a long time before he calmed down. He took a few breaths unconsciously and said:

"He never lost a fight."

...

"Is the injury serious?"

"It's okay, captain, just rest for two days." Murray said with some embarrassment. After all, he was so big, and he was beaten by his elders in front of his companions. It was really embarrassing.

However, the cut with his family, especially with his grandfather, made him feel very comfortable. Although his breathing hurts now, he still smelled the taste of true freedom.

"Don't be embarrassed, if I hadn't just been seriously injured that day, I would probably have been beaten up by the elders."

Karen was sure that Texisen wanted to beat him up that day, but firstly, he would not fight for fear of losing his strength, and secondly, he was in a very bad situation at the time, so he should be really worried about punching himself to death.

Ventura came over with ice water at this time, and there were only four people left in the room.

Murray and Ventura have long been members of the inner circle because they know Karen's secret.

"In these two days, the high priest will also come, isn't it?" Ventura seemed a little excited.

Indeed, having the opportunity to see the high priest in person, not in newspapers or projections, is definitely something that can excite every believer in Order.

"Well, it should be. This involves high-level political games." Murray can only explain in this way.

Alfred lamented: "Unfortunately, Lord Taixisen's body..."

Murray asked in surprise: "Do you want to recover Lord Taixisen's body and place it in the auditorium of Allen Manor?"

Alfred nodded, and said: "I have a problem now, that is, when I see strong people who are strong and tend to my side, I can't help but wonder when they will die;

And, can I take their remains back.

Of the 12 coffins, only 2 have been accommodated now, and there is a place reserved for Mrs. Gandillo, which means there are only 3 coffins.

If I don't fill them up, I feel very regretful, just like the psychological phenomenon that the young master said before, it is called obsessive-compulsive disorder. "

Karen glanced at Alfred, and joked, "You should be called 'collector'."

Murray said: "But, it is very difficult to do, no, it is almost impossible, because the status of Mr. Taixisen is too high. After his death, his body will be protected to the greatest extent, and then sent to the first Knights, we have no chance at all, and if we can go to the First Knights to steal the remains... then it seems that there is no need to save our own remains."

Karen waved his hand and said, "Although Mr. Taixisen can't fight, his realm is too high. Not to mention that it is impossible to get his body, even if I do, I feel that I might wake up." not him.

Besides, since he is still alive, it is inappropriate to say these things.

Let's talk about something appropriate first.

You take the time to make a plan to execute Vicolai, and we will do it as soon as we return to York City. "

"An assassination plan, Captain?" Murray asked.

Karen corrected, "It's the trial plan."

Alfred immediately took out his notebook, pulled out the pen cap, and prepared to record.

Seeing this, Murray subconsciously touched his pocket and found that he was not in the habit of carrying a notebook and pen.

Then seeing that Ventura also took out his notebook and pen, Murray suddenly became even more embarrassed.

Karen said: "The theme is the trial. First, prepare the coupons that Vicolai gave me in advance. Remember, I will 'return' him when the time comes when the average interest in the black market bank is included."

"Yes, master."

"Second, investigate Vicole's past and his behavior after he became an adjudicator. You can call on Xin Yali to help search and sort out clues. I don't believe that such a person will always abide by the rules of order."

"Yes, Captain."

"Third, what I want is not a simple assassination plan. I hope that before killing him, I can talk to him a few words. The more calm the environment, the better. Of course, it is within the scope of conditions."

"Yes, Captain."

Karen nodded, took a sip of ice water, and said, "Let's do this first, do things one by one, and clear up the accumulation first, you have worked hard."

After speaking, Karen stood up: "I'm going to see the three-headed dog."

...

Giragon was still lying there, his eyes were a little dull, and he just looked at the front like this for two days.

Ashley was sitting not far away, staring at her surroundings vigilantly. She was not afraid of Jiragon's sudden violence, but the island was not safe yet, and the Delan family and the Watson family were not like Castle The family chooses to follow the law.

However, she is ready to call Sandy for a warning call at any time.

Pu'er and Kevin were very close to Jiragon's dog's head on the ground.

"Let me tell you, you can't escape even if you want to, the Cult of Order will definitely get involved in the affairs here, and you have suffered so many [Scythes of War] on you, this is the best sign, the Cult of Order It will definitely lock you.

You just lie here and wait, don't take this matter too seriously, it's not your fault, understand, waste dog?

According to the practice of the Cult of Kosmos, they will judge you, and you should accept the trial honestly. They will be more fair, because they don't want to kill you, and they also want to accept you.

Although you will lose your freedom...but you can still live;

If I have a chance in the future, I will visit you. It mainly depends on the speed of my family Karen's promotion.

The faster he gets promoted, the sooner I can see you, shit dog. "

Giragon stared at Pu'er, his huge eye sockets were full of tears of grievance, but he still had to hold back, because he was afraid that a tear of his own would wash away Pu'er or drown Pu'er.

Seeing that Pu'er and Giragon had to chat for a long time, Kevin shook his head and ran down first, found a small pit in the ruins, and after digging a few times, he turned his back and squatted down.

After the convenience was over, Kevin yawned, turned sideways, and found two familiar figures on a relatively high ruin in the distance.

...

"I thought you left early."

Karen said as he sat there, looking ahead at the islanders searching for their loved ones and buried belongings among the wreckage ahead.

Tuffman said: "It seems that the adult didn't order me to be arrested, but it may be because you are short of manpower now."

His hair is already half white. Although there are no age spots or sagging on his skin, his whole person feels a little tired. I don't know if he can make it up with time, but even if he does, it will definitely be back. It's a serious injury.

"You should go, the big troops will come to the island in two days."

"I know, I will leave. I have booked a boat and will leave later. But what do you mean, if I don't leave, you will come to catch me?"

Karen shook his head: "Why should I arrest you?"

"By the way, I almost forgot, you, like me, are the remnants of the light."

"I believe in order, and light is just a means for me."

"Then you should catch me all the more, shouldn't you?"

"You haven't violated the order, and there is no clause in the "Regulations on Order" that specifically targets the Sect of Light."

There are some things that cannot be written in plain text, but this does not prevent all orthodox churches from secretly attacking the remnants of the light and preventing the resurgence of the light.

"Karen, you seem to have changed a bit?"

Karen pointed forward and said, "I was thinking, if I hadn't thought about leaving with all my heart, but had chosen to stop him with you, would this island have avoided this disaster?"

Tuffman smiled and replied: "I only know that if you didn't fight to the death and finally killed him, under his control, even if your lord made a move, there might be no way to stop Giragon, because You adults don't know how to fight.

Without you, the island would be completely destroyed by now.

But are you blaming yourself?

You don't have to blame yourself at all. "

Karen shook his head: "What I'm thinking about is not the result. There may be accidents in the result, but the only thing I can control is my initial choice and intention."

Tuffman said: "Everyone has their own period of confusion. I hope you can get out of it as soon as possible, or you have already come out."

"Thanks."

"Then I'm leaving, I'm afraid the boat I booked will be waiting in a hurry."

"Where are you going next?"

"You want to know?"

"No, just a polite farewell."

"I don't know either, I'll go wherever the boat goes, I booked a small boat called Jin Luo.

Originally, I boarded the boat with the intention of negotiating the price, but the old captain directly dropped his saber and asked me where I was going next, and he could sail away immediately. "

"Good luck on your journey and don't get caught."

"Well, the road ahead will be even more difficult. Not only will the order arrest me, but after this time, the light side will also consider me a traitor. Well, I'm leaving. I won't bother you anymore. You can continue."

Tuffman left.

Kevin ran up wagging his tail, looked at Karen who was sitting there, and was taken aback for a moment, then moved a little lighter than before and leaned over actively. It lay down on the side of Karen's thigh and accompanied Karen Lun looked at the "scenery" below.

Karen reached out and patted Kevin's bald head lightly as a greeting.

One person and one dog sat here for a long time, until night fell and the moon rose.

Karen suddenly asked, "Kevin, have you ever been confused?"

Kevin shook his head without hesitation, and then called out to the moon in the sky:

"Wow!"

Karen laughed.

Kevin turned to look at Karen with some doubts.

"Yeah, the beliefs of most people in this world are not as firm as a dog."
